Bloody hell. I must have had one can too many last night. I've just read some of my posts this morning....and don't remember writing them...

Does this happen a lot around here??

I think someone else logged in as me and wrote them actually.

Lady G.

What're you all doing right now? Well not RIGHT NOW..coz we are 5 hours behind you in the UK....but you get my drift.

I suppose, right now, as you are reading this...you are on your computers..or else you wouldn't know what I was typing....so I guess I answered my own question didn't I?

Waste of 50 seconds of my life.

Levi Roots 'Mango and Chilli Relish' is the nuts.............

So are YOU by the looks of things. Hey Birbee....look...I'm Yorkshire Lass?
The question mark is because Harold F. Quey (sp.?) - who I know from another site....begs to differ, because the borders have been changed so many bloody times.

I WAS BORN IN YORKSHIRE, then it was TEESIDE (TEESSIDE) then CLEVELAND...now I don't know how the hell to address letters to my family and friends who still live there.

Hey, I lived, and worked, in 3 different areas without even moving house.

So there you go. Just incase you were wondering about the question mark, which I don't suppose any of you were anyway....though!

Is the question "?" perhaps regarding whether or not you are a Yorkshire Lass or Yorkshire Pudding though?

Good question!

I lost $82.50 on poker and £20 on football tonight.............

have wound up a 'winner."

....not just Bureau....everybody!

Did you know that ginger beer doesn't freeze?

I had a bottle of cherryade and a bottle of ginger beer on by back doorstep to keep cold, the cherryade was frozen solid last night, but the ginger beer didn't even have any ice crystals in it.

Maybe they should send crates of it up to Scotland, workers can use it to thaw out the roads and refresh themselves, and any stranded people. Win-win.

That ginger beer must have been loaded with alcohol! Vodka doesn't freeze

Lady G.

On the Glasgow run tomorrow.

Early start.

Early bed.

Nytol.............

Is Monkey Woods ALSO that Mister Meaner or what?

I don't think us 'newbies' will ever find out.....

Monkey Jnr. is writing now.

I've lost my new black shoes and can't find my phone.

I'm going to miss Bureau and realize he must be 'suffering pain' in some way shape or form, from what he said in his post.

I think of few of us are....but not as bad as Bureau seems to be.

Thinking of you Bureau, if you are checking in

Nah, it's just pop, it just don't make sense.

Unless it's not just pop and I got a better deal than I'd bargained for.

I am considering using it as a cheap alternative to screen wash, but I am worried about the fizzy aspect. Anyone wanna try it out for me?

....just did....screen turned bloody red with white blotches...think it's terminal!

don't you just hate it when you wind up with a bad APPLE?

I tried it out Mark, but it made a bloody mess of my computer screen. Mr. G. went mad! I was still cleaning it off when Mr. G. came home. (G = 'Grumpy' in his case by the way!)

He said you probably meant CAR WINDSCREEN....being bilingual now - we call our WINDSCREEN our WINDSHIELD
- so I made an understandable mistake

He found my new black shoes were HE had put them without telling me........what a 'prankster' (for prankster read 'idiot').

Lady G.

What does everyone want for Christmas?

I want a second-hand (or 'second-feet') treadmill.


Lady G.

I have strained a muscle.

Do you strain a muscle or sprain it?

Anyway, I have done it.

It's in my chest, and last night I thought I was having a very slow and drawn out heart attack.

Now I can't move my left arm without it hurting, I can't sit down or stand up without it hurting and I can't breathe very deeply without it hurting or cough for that matter, so I'll keep this short.

So I'm in pain and I need your sympathy.............

Poor birbee.

I did the same thing a few years ago. Very painful and you just can't get comfortable no matter what.

My doctor prescribed some powerful painkillers and they helped. I think it lasted for three or four days.

When I busted my thumb, tore my eyebrow open and knackered my shoulder up etc. Lynton advised me too take Voltarol for the pain. It's the most potent over the counter painkiller you can get. It helped a lot. Word of warning though mate - no alcohol. If you drink with that stuff it will seriously eff you up.

Wishing you a speedy recovery,

Skoob

Birb: same thing about 10 years ago...thought I was having a heart attack or in last stages of lung cancer!

Wound up at Chiropractor who relieved the strain in minutes, and pain was gone in about two days....scary!

Remember, ICE not heat...give that a try....


Morse

Thanks guys, I have Voltarol, and I have a Wheat bag constantly applied.

No worries about the alcohol Skoob, I'm still off the pop.

Ice, Morse? Ice???

I could go out and roll in the garden, plenty out there still.

My pain is now worse, as Sheffield Wednesday have just gone 2-1 up, bastards.............

Sorry to hear about your pain birbee. Nick Hobbs has a broken finger too. Sounds like a lot of 'writers' are 'suffering' in one way or the other...some worse than others....could be our age!!!!

Anyway, I'm watching Fulham v Sunderland. Well.....I am NOW - I went for a little nap coz I was up early this morning - I missed the first half. The score is 0 - 0 so I can't have missed much.

Take care.

I know what you mean about the 'ice'. A boy came to the Staff Room for an ice-pack....he'd fallen on the ice in the playground - which is covered with snow etc.

Us (We)heartless teachers chuckled and, in unison, some said,

'Can't you find some outside?' The student was NOT amused.
Tears rolling down his face, tears rolling down ours...but for different reasons. Callous lot we are at times. Weeeellll - it's almost the end of the term and we're all knackered.

Also, there wasn't any blood or we would have been more compassionate! Honest!


LG

How come, when you've not had a drink for a while, having just one beer gets you tipsy really quickly?

I'm not complaining, just curious.

I really need to get in training for Christmas!

Cheers.

Who knows Mark, but I've not had any alcohol since 25th April.

I wonder how little I could have before I got tipsy.............?
